Hi, Tom,
Thanks for this--very interesting.
I've found myself with several LPs to do (I completely stay away from
78s at this time) as part of a tape-disc transfer package. I have also
turned a few of my Broadway albums into CDs when the commercial CD was
miserable (yes, I know there is a "remastered" CD now out of Man of La
Mancha, but Robert (my son) and I decided it wasn't worth $20 to improve
the quality over what my restoration provided--he's more of a musician
than an audiophile).
Anyway, for several projects, my tool of choice has been Brian Davies's
Click Repair and the denoise LF has worked very well for hum removal.
Click Repair seems to do less audible damage than the
de-click/de-crackle in the Samplitude restoration suite and it's the
best-yet iteration of that line.
I do transfer at 96/24.
I notice that Click Repair was mentioned in the Audacity article. I also
noticed that GoldWave was also mentioned which is odd, as that is my
preferred low-cost audio editor when people ask. Although Magix's Audio
Cleaning Lab is also a good contender for under $100.
Cheers,
Richard

Quality tape transfers -- even from hard-to-play tapes.
